BACKGROUND
Painful and damaged nipples are frequently associated with breastfeeding cessation in the early postpartum period. The results of researchers' studies utilizing different treatments have been inconclusive.
RESEARCH AIM
To compare the intensity of nipple pain and the healing of damaged nipples during the first 10 days postpartum using either lanolin or human milk treatments.
METHODS
This single-blind randomized controlled trial included participants (
RESULTS
Participants in both groups reported a statistically nonsignificant reduction in pain (quality and intensity of pain) as well as improved nipple healing 7 days after randomization. Participants in the lanolin group exclusively breastfed their infants 3 days after randomization-significantly more often than participants in the control group (
CONCLUSION
Both lanolin and human milk are equally effective in treating painful and damaged nipples.Registered with Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04153513).
